Loan staff gives u perspective of the other side

like

Provides a different perspective - both good & bad depending on the client and the length of the loan staff.

I’d say in my experience the vast majority of loan staffs have resulted in poor retention & career growth when remaining in public but provides a good resume builder if you’re looking to leave. At least in terms of the longer loan staffs.

Typically long period causes you to have to roll off other clients & lose out on that time developing relationships with clients / internally. Usually transition back is harder after being away a long time. If you have a good schedule (I.e. good teams/clients) it can be difficult to get that back.

^ I don't recommend sending first years into the field bc they should first learn the firm's process and ways of doing things. Also, when you're on the other side, I've found myself relying on the knowledge toolkit I built from public (from being on multiple clients and engagements). If you go straight into the field, that toolkit is basically nothing.

So in that sense, you got a raw deal. You didn't get the benefit of public's "boot camp" to quickly build a foundation. You also didn't have that baseline to compare the experiences.

Learn something new possibly. Network building. They can hire you FT after. Do bad work because your time is limited. It’s up to you. Lol

My loan staff engagement forced me to think differently than I would have during my regular job at GT. It sucked doing busy season hours when it wasn't even busy season but I definitely think I got a lot out of it.

I have an offer to join a startup as an APM. The only downside is that the engineering team is located offshore in India. I’m concerned about the resulting impact because of 1) the potential late night calls 2) the learning opportunities missed by not working with a US engineering team (communication tactics, translatable skills) 3) potential exit opps into FAANG pm roles due to not having experience with an onshore eng team. Would any one be able to speak to this from experience or share advice

(1/2) Hi all, based in the UK 🇬🇧, would appreciate your advice on how I could break into product management.

Context: Graduated in 2019 (Finance), 2 years at EY as a business consultant on mix of pmo projects and tech projects where I was developer (data vis, power platform, sql, vba, data analysis etc.). Joined Google on a 6 month contract as a data analyst.

Should I be applying for product analyst roles? Should I apply for strategy consulting? Could I go straight for prod mgmt roles?

Anyone know who might be looking for a network coordinator?

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?

Why do leaders keep comparing how “good”the new staff/seniors have it because they make more money starting out then they did and working 55 hours is better than the 70-80 hours they used to work? Instead they should compare what options they have available to them and what their goals are.
